The fade haircut with shaped up hairline is a cool hairstyle that requires solid haircutting skills. The fade gets the hair on the sides & back of the had tapered fast to skin so that there is no hair left, so to speak. The hairline of the forehead is clipped in what is called a shape up, which is the clipping of the hairline in straight lines, also known as squaring off the hairline. The fade with shape up is a popular haircut for young black men and black barbershops are usually the best place in town to get your hair faded and shaped up.

Because of the precision required to shape up and fade-cut, you will need to go to a skilled barber to get the look. Hairdressers or oldschool barbers tend not to be familiarized with the shape up, and they're also not the best at fading hair with just a hair clipper. Ask around, most cities in USA and Europe have at least one modern barbershop where haircuts like the fade, shape up, high top and temple fade are done on a daily basis.

Here is a recent fade haircut with shaped up hairline. It was clipped by a skilled barber in both the shape and fade haircut. Thoughts?
